Anyway, I'm mostly interested in how this country can benefit from not being dependent on oil for economic and national security reasons.
No you're not. You're clearly bent upon eradicating all use of fossil fuels, whether domestic or imported.
I, and T. Boone Pickens, have ALREADY presented you a reasonable and economically feasible scenario where Natural Gas replaces imported oil and leads us to creating an infrastructure where Fuel Cells may, one day, be economically viable enough to completely replace fossil fuels (with hydrogen created via competitive solar, nuclear, wave, and wind power).
This is something that could be DONE NOW, and not have to wait for available supplies of Lithium, or commercial production of a non-lithium battery/ultracapacitor technology to fully mature.
